Overview of Sample Implementation

The sample ebXML Protocol Manager Projects’ implementation scenario demonstrates inbound and outbound message processing between the following parties:

• Atlanta Company

• Berlin Company

For the sample’s scenario, each company has an eXchange installation and trades data. The scenario also demonstrates ebXML in conjunction with SME to illustrate cryptographic features.

Overview of Basic Sample Setup

For complete information, see the eXchange Integrator User’s Guide.

Sample Scenario

The sample Projects, Environments, and related files illustrate the following scenario:

• The Atlanta Company’s Trading Partner (TP) is tpBerlin, that is, the Berlin Company.

• The Berlin Company’s TP is tpAtlanta, that is, the Atlanta Company.

• In the sample scenario, the Atlanta Company sends data (outbound files) to the Berlin Company, which processes it, then sends the processed data (inbound files) back to the Atlanta Company.

• You can change the sample’s scenario (as explained in this chapter) to reverse the companies’ sender and receiver roles, if you want.
